Over 3 years in, Switch is still missing basic features.

There are people here who say a lot of the things I mentioned are clutter. That's obviously okay if you feel that way. Is it safe to say you would feel the same way about PlayStation, Xbox, and if Nintendo was up to specs and in direct competition with Sony and Microsoft? Would it be totally fine if Nintendo released a home console in 2013 with the specs of Xbox One and PS4 and it had no internet browser, Netflix, crappy online, etc?
Because I have a feeling the big reason people don't mind these features and options being absent is because Nintendo has not been up to specs with the competition since the GameCube.
Long story short...would you prefer consoles to lack Netflix/Streaming, Internet Browsers, Themes, and the like? Would it be much better for gaming if hardware was only for playing games?

I do like themes and local back up but for everything else. I don't give a fuck. When I turn on my PS4 its to play a game. Nothing else. I have a PC and phone for browsing. I have a Roku for Netflix. Netflix and the browser are redundant. Console browsers are trash and clunky to use anyway. It was neat in 2006 when our phones were motorola flip phones. It was neat on Dreamcast in 1999 when my Nokia could only play snake. It's pretty much useless now. It's bloatware. My PS4 won't play musics CD's either. A feature on every disc-based system. No one needs it anymore. Sometimes something outstays its usefulness.
